--Previous Message--: The first Alpha Flight book I ever purhcased : was Volume 1 #3... the cover just jumped out : at a young 13 year old kid. Aurora (in that : awesome black and white costume) trapped in : a cage of vertical and horizontal bars... : the look of stark terror on her face.

That's a great cover

: I immediately took the subscription form out : of the back of the book, and had my mother : write me a check for a one year : subscription. I also ordered issue #1 and 2 : from one of the many back-issue : advertisements in that very same book, and I : collected, and fell in love with this team : up until the end of the volume 1.

I was hooked on them from their first introduction in their guest appearances in Uncanny X-Men. Bought issue #1 and been reading them ever since.
